Hello,
If I use "SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_CONTINUOUS" as a parameter to pre-allocate function to get contiguous locations of memory and use the function snd_dma_continuous_data() would that be correct setting for my case? Where are the parameters of dma_addr and dma_area written to the runtime structure?
Regards; Aadish

Hello Takashi,
I am developing a DMA Controller driver to service the PCM out data to the Audio controller on the arm-based ATLASIII procesor. In case you need any more information on the architecture I can pass.
Since the DMA isn't on PCI bus I am pre-allocation continuous memero using the "snd_pcm_lib_preallocate_pages_for_all" passing SNDDRV_DMA_TYPE_DEV and "snd_dma_continuous_data" as appropriate parameters.
snd_dma_continuous_data() is only for SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_CONTINUOUS. In this case, the pages aren't for DMA.
For SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_DEV, simply pass the device pointer you use.
